Source for heavy sand or Chromite sand

[Biggabe]

Was wondering if anyone has a source for some chromite or heavy sand. I know Sinclair and some of the other benchrest sights sell the heavy sand but thought I'd try to get enough to fill a few bags verses the 15 pounds they usually sell. Thanks.

How much do you need?
I have some garnet sand. Its in between chromite and zircon for weight.

medium grit sand blasting sand from tractor supply 8.00 for a 50lb bag works great

You might want to try using heavy and in your rear bag but use beach sand or similar for the ears. In the front bag I'd use just beach or similar sand because the heavy sand can end up packing as hard as a brick and you can start throwing some of your shots. I shoot competition and I've heard many guy's say what I'm saying.

Thanks guys, looks like it will be Tractor Supply.

I use coal slag(abrasives) from Tractor supply,cheap and works well . I like the medium,but have honestly never tried the fine.The fine will probably be closer to heavy sand,medium is plenty heavy for me.
